Today's show: Recapping the Ravens' wild win over the ColtsIf you decided to go to bed during the third quarter of this game because the Colts were up 22-3, I have some bad news for you: You mi sed one of the wildest Monday night comebacks ever. The only thing more exciting than Monday's game was the podcast we recorded afterwards. Here are three key things from the game that we touched on: can actually throw the ball.After a rough first half the saw the Ravens only score three points -- the fewest ever in a first half with Jackson -- the electrifying quarterback rebounded with a second half that might go down as one of the best by any QB in NFL history. After halftime, Jackson completed 29 of 32 pa ses for 355 yards and four touchdowns. One TD pa s came with 39 seconds left to play and another came on the game-winner Jimmy Butler Jersey in overtime. Overall, Jackson threw for a franchise-record 442 yards. He also finished the game with the highest completion percentage in NFL history for a QB who threw 40 or more pa ses (86%). The Ravens also got huge performances from (11 catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns plus two 2-point conversions) and (nine catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns).Colts did everything right until the fourth quarter.For the first three quarters, the Colts absolutely dominated this game. Defensively, they did such a good job of shutting down Baltimore's offense that the Ravens were forced to punt on their first four po se sions of the game. The Colts also ended the Ravens' streak of 43 straight games where they rushed for at least 100 yards. Offensively, showed that he can still play at a high level. The Colts QB threw for 402 yards and two touchdowns, and despite the lo s, his performance was good enough that the Colts probably feel like they still have a good chance of winning the AFC South despite being two games out. The kicker meltdown continued.Week 5 was one of the worst weeks in NFL history for kickers and that continued on Monday night. Despite the fact that was dealing with a hip injury, the Colts still attempted multiple kicks and that plan backfired with Blankenship mi sing both an extra point and a 47-yard field goal as time expired that would have won the game. The Colts special teams also had a huge gaffe when they let barge through the line to block a 37-yard field goal with 4:35 left to play that likely would have iced the game. If the field goal had made it, it would have put the Colts up two scores (28- Naz Reid Jersey 17) and it's unlikely the Ravens would have been able to come back. Basically, Campbell's block is what made the comeback po sible. We talked about those three things plus everything else you could po sibly want to know about Monday's game, so be sure to check it out.

Jon Gruden resigns as Raiders coachIn a span of just 24 hours, Jon Gruden went from coaching in a game to being out of a job. Gruden resigned as coach of the Raiders on Monday more of his personal emails. Here's everything you need to know about the situation:Gruden came under fire last week. The controversy with Gruden started last week when a story that revealed that Gruden had used racist language to describe NFLPA director DeMaurice Smith in a 2011 email.The final nail in the coffin. After apologizing for the Smith email, it appeared that Gruden was going to keep his job, but then the dropped a bomb. In a story published Monday, the published emails where Gruden "denounced the emergence of women as referees, the drafting of a gay player and the tolerance of players protesting during the playing of the national anthem." Not only were these emails worse, but some of them were sent as recently as four years ago, which made it a horrible look for Gruden. In the emails, Gruden also referred to NFL commi sioner Roger Goodell as a a "f-----t" and a "cluele s anti football pu--y"Gruden announces his resignation. A few hours after the story came out, Gruden was done. The coach with a simple statement just after 10 p.m. ET: "I have resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation. I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone."Raiders knew about Gruden's emails. CBS Sports NFL Dario Saric Jersey Insider Jason La Canfora has about all of the emails on Friday night, but decided to still let Gruden coach in Sunday's game, which isn't a great look for Raiders owner Mark Davis.Raiders name an interim coach. Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia will be taking over as interim coach. This stint will mark the first time that Bisaccia has served as a head coach. However, he does have plenty of NFL experience. Bisaccia has been in the league since 2002 when he got a job with Gruden in Tampa Bay. Since then, Bisaccia has coached for four different teams: (2002-10), (2011-12), (2013-17) and Raiders (2018-present).Gruden's situation raises a lot of questions about the NFL's handling of the situation in Washington. The only reason the NFL had acce s to Gruden's emails is because they were discovered as part of the league's investigation into the Washington Football Team. During that investigation, the league went through more than 650,000 emails and somehow, Gruden's were the only ones that got leaked. Washington was investigated for workplace misconduct, including sexual hara sment and the fact that not one email from that investigation has been leaked makes it seem like the league was out to get Gruden. Even if Gruden deserved to lose his job -- and he did -- Jarred Vanderbilt Jersey that doesn't excuse the NFL here. The league never offered any sort of written report or findings about the Washington situation, which is mind-boggling to sa
